After the TV restarts, it displays the Activation screen:
Note: A paid subscription or other payments may be required for some channels. Channel availability is sub-
ject to change and varies by country. Not all content is available in countries or regions where Roku products
are sold.
10. Using a compatible computer, tablet, or
smartphone with an Internet connection, go to the web
address displayed on the screen and en-
ter the code that appears on your screen.
After you log in or create your Roku account,
the link page suggests that you select some
streaming channels. After you confirm your
selections, the TV gets an acknowledgement,
and then adds your preexisting and new-
ly-selected streaming channels to your Roku
TV. This process is automatic and takes a few
moments—a little longer if you already have a lot of stream-
ing channels to add.
Tip: Streaming channels from all Roku
streaming devices associated with your
account are synchronized periodically, so
all of your Roku streaming devices have
the same streaming channels (subject to
compatibility with the device).
After it adds your selected streaming channels, the TV helps you set up the devices that you're connecting to it,
such as a cable box, Blu-ray player, or game console:
Why do I need a Roku Account?
You need a Roku account for several reasons.
• It links you, your Roku TV and your other Roku
streaming devices to the Roku Channel Store and
billing service.
• Streaming content providers know that it's OK to
send content you request to your Roku TV.
• Roku can automatically send updates to your device.
Important: When you set up a Roku account, you must
register a payment method. Adding a payment method
now lets you easily rent or buy movies on demand,
or try popular paid subscription or transaction-based
streaming channels. You won't be charged unless you
agree to the terms and cost of the content. If you are
concerned about unauthorized charges, you can set up
a PIN that you must enter to authorize each charge.
